Ellen DeGeneres talks Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer with Taylor Swift

It's hard to avoid country/pop superstar Taylor Swift right now, as she's making the media rounds in support of her new Speak Now album. But it looks like fans are in for an entertaining conversation on Monday, Nov. 1, when Swift stops by Ellen DeGeneres' show.

DeGeneres -- who tends to be pretty frank/cheeky when it comes to questions -- will ask about the rumors that Swift is dating movie star Jake Gyllenhaal (the two were spotted together in New York, and the rumor mill swung into action), and about the Speak Now track-fueled speculation that she formerly dated singer-songwriter John Mayer (track in question: "Dear John").

DeGeneres asks Swift if she's "optimistic about love." With an affirmative answer from the young singer, the host counters, "especially if your boyfriend is Jake Gyllenhaal because he is very handsome. Y'all are just hanging out though right?"

Swift, coy as ever, simply responds with, "You have a picture of us on the screen don't you?"

Swift will also move on from talking about her personal life to singing about it, performing her songs "You Belong With Me" and "Mine."
